I answered, “If rights are based on man-made documents they are not rights, they are privileges. What man makes, man can change.” Only if rights come from God is it illegitimate for man to take another’s rights. It is impossible to say that the God of the Bible would sanction rights of homosexual marriage. Thus, there is no such right in a God-based theory of rights. Any man-made theory of rights is no theory at all. … HSLDA is not willing to move into an era of human privileges. We believe this would jeopardize our liberty to teach our children at home and bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
